How will these resources help you?

Teachers may lack the resources or knowledge to teach democracy in the ancient world. Some feel it belongs with the classics and find it hard to relate to their students’ life experiences. However, it is very useful to introduce looking at the development of democracy and the use of power into the KS3 curriculum: it links to several KS4 GCSE topics and fits with the study of world political history – especially the development of systems of government. The topic also supports the requirement to promote British values in the curriculum by helping students to understand their rights and responsibilities as members of a democracy in the UK.
